If you weren’t locked in a cave or on a complete social media detox in the past months, chances are you came across a picture (or a meme!) of Zac Efron in his bulking era online. While some argued if our forever High School Musical teen-crush was undergoing a midlife crisis and aiming for a 180-degree career shift, deep down, we all know what’s to come. Efron and Jeremy Allen White from ‘The Bear’ have gone through an intense physical preparation during the shoot of The Iron Claw, one of the most anticipated movies of 2024. And today, we were graced with a trailer that just confirmed all the hype.

Based on a true story, the movie directed by Sean Durkin, and produced by A24, follows Efron as wrestler Kevin Von Erich, or the Golden Warrior, a member of the famed Von Erich wrestling dynasty, and his brothers. From the first scenes of the teaser, it’s evident that we can expect a version of the heartstopper never seen before — and that even Troy Bolton would be shocked. Think a 70s-inspired haircut, skin-tight speedos and cowboy hats, ambitious and tough family love, the joys and angsts of brotherhood, and of course, romance. The movie will be released on December 22 — and we can’t wait!

Watch the trailer…
